Lyon County Election Office graphic. Emporia City Commission incumbent Danny Giefer has filed for re-election. Going for his third term in office, Giefer tells KVOE News he brings a nonpartisan viewpoint to the board. Giefer says the city is headed in a good direction but still has a number of notable items to address, including increasing the available housing stock, adding jobs and improving infrastructure. He says the city is poised to see several important economic developments, including a possibility of new businesses at the Emporia Pavilions, a second travel plaza, Evergy’s new service center and Fanestil Meats’ move out of the Cottonwood River floodplain.
